Gathering Artists For Billboard Exhibition

,
ArtPool Gallery & Vintage Boutique in downtown St. Petersburg is one of the hidden gems of Pinellas County. Started by Marina Williams in 2008, ArtPool lets up-and-coming talent display their work at a very low cost, and allows the artists to keep 100% of the proceeds.

I spoke with Marina regarding our upcoming Digital Billboard Art Exhibition, hoping to spread the word that we will be using our billboards across Tampa Bay to display the work of local artists. Our goal is to generate interest in local culture and the arts, while beautifying the streets with something bold and meaningful. Her enthusiasm about the exhibition was contagious. I truly can't wait to see some of these paintings up in lights.

If you haven't been to ArtPool, you're missing out on one of the best additions to St. Pete culture. The gallery will host a launch party tomorrow, May 9th for "Zero: Modern Arts Directory", a sort of Yellow Pages of local talent.

Check back here for interviews and articles on participating artists, and if you or someone you know would like to display your work in our free Digital Billboard Exhibition, please call 727.299.2456 or email ryanfrazier@clearchannel.com.
